Higher amp alternator?

[MannedSage1]

I’m looking for an alternator that has higher amps for a 172 I have a sound system and the battery keeps going flat even with the car running is there any high amp ones or any alternative alternators that fit?

Only think there is 2 available 110a being the highest.

Have you looked into power caps. Voltage storage for the stereo system . I’m no guru by the way.

Can you have standard ones rebuilt for higher output or anything?

I have managed to find a 120 amp alternator off another Renault, that physically fits, but it has got damaged in transit so waiting for a new regulator to come, then I can try and run it.

Mine has cup brackets, well Volvo ones anyway. Am a newish member here and relatively new to Clio ownership so hope I am not telling you guys something you already know.

I think it is DIYAudio forum that I've read, which IIRC has people on there who have got custom-built versions made up.

Yes, they're a common design, I've had a 110 rewound to output 155amp before for racer.

There's not many places left doing it now though unless you do it yourself.

You can fit anything to any engine given enough time, is yours a cup with a lower mounted one or a high mounted one that ticks under the slam panel

Power caps to whoever said it above don’t really achieve anything in sound systems, far better fitting an extra battery even if it’s small like an odyssey pc480 or similar so there’s current readily available next to the amp itself

I have done numerous alternator conversions on loads of vehicles and I have modded them for more voltage or even external transpo regulators for variable voltage

Hi, I remember your name from the talk audio forums dum dum.

Not sure if the question was for me or thread starter. It was a 182, but binned of the AC and the pas pump as have gone epas.

But running fundamentally a cup set up, only difference am using Volvo 300 1.7 brackets to mount the alternator.

That’s me ? just bought a Clio RS200 cup with the intention of doing a few track days and wearing some tyres out ?? In the meantime if I can help with a few audio and alternator related questions I will, and engine stuff but I am the first to add I’m a better auto electrician than a spanner monkey but I was both of those for 12 yrs ??

7711134267 is the original 172/182 110amp item.

There some 150 amp items, 8200846074 for one, available from Renault.

Standard fitment on Laguna`s I believe.

If they don`t fit directly, I`m sure you could swap the internals around.

Possibly a bigger case, there’s a 210a alt that fits various renaults that we used to modify for higher voltages and with higher currents as a result, I clamped one at 250a roughly in an Audi with an external regulator set at 14.7v ??
